  Re: problems with legos on notebook
 
Hi Michael, Try the --slow option on firmdl3. This forces it to use the slow download speed, and may help. Also, use --debug to display more debugging info. This may help someone here to work out what the problem is. I'm not sure what the equivalent (...) (23 years ago, 18-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: problems with legos on notebook
 
Hallo Ross! This is just the problem, I can not download programs or the legos.srec. Both, firmdl3 and dll give the message "bad ir link". I have an other linux computer on which (with a built in com port) dll and firmdl3 work correctly. I compared (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: problems with legos on notebook
 
Michael, I may not be much help as I only use my laptop for downloading programs, not development, and my serial port is built-in. Is there any message when it fails to connect, or not? Does it fail immediately, or timeout after a wait? Do firmdl3 & (...) (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: WINLNP QUESTIONS
 
I did some more digging. When I look into the reg I do not find the reg keys as mentioned on the (URL) page. I dig in the code and set the com port by hand (directly to com1) and now I have the green ligth on the IR tower. However still no messages (...)

  ir communication
 
Hi, i am just doing my first steps with legOS and i want to send some data back to the PC. Is there any kind of software for the PC to read that data and save or display it? TIA Chris (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: transfer data failed
 
Hi, thanks for the tips, but nothing helps. I tried 0.2.5, I tried the far and near mode, I changed the lighting conditions -> nothing helped. But I don't think that I fired up my Brick/Tower because the original Lego Software under Windows works, (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: transfer data failed
 
I use 0.2.5 in windows (djgpp), and can't get by without using the slow download option (-s). If you have lighting problems, perhaps flipping the little switch on the IR tower will help. When I download stuff at school, it helps to have it set to (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Hi, i use 0.2.5 under Cygwin and sometimes i experience the same problem. I dont think its a problem with the legOS 0.2.4 distribution.
